Re: Anchoring : Who\'s liable for damage?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Anchoring one's boat such that another vessel cannot raise its anchor is asking for trouble.
[/ QUOTE ]Yes, what is the "done thing" in those circumstances? When the later boat anchors so close that although you swing clear of each other, he is across your cable. You can't pull up to your anchor without ramming him.
[/ QUOTE ]I would talk to the other skipper, make sure he knows what he's done and when I intend to leave. He might be leaving earlier. If not, I would suggest swapping positions.
